VICTORY QUOTES
quotations about victory
Be resolute, fear no sacrifice and surmount every difficulty to win victory.
MAO ZEDONG
Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong
Get out of that negative environment and get into an atmosphere of victory, where people build you up rather than tear you down. Find a place where people will encourage you and challenge you to be the best you can be. Find a place where people inspire you to reach for new heights. Friend, you have to envision good things happening to you before they ever will.

Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential
Your performances -- even in victory -- always will be subjected to harsh judging. That's how they do it in gymnastics.
JEFF MILLER
"U.S. men's basketball team needs to prove its dominance at Rio Olympics", OCRegister, August 17, 2016
Victory belongs to those that believe in it the most and believe in it the longest.
RANDALL WALLACE
Pearl Harbor
The victor belongs to the spoils.
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
The Beautiful and Damned
The problems of victory are more agreeable than the problems of defeat, but they are no less difficult.
WINSTON CHURCHILL
speech to House of Commons, November 11, 1942
If both people gain in any given transaction, they are both winners, and the degree of victory shouldn't need to be measured. When there is no longer a competition to win, a competitive conflict turns into a common journey.
SHAUN BONETT
"Conflict is not a heat-seeking missile", Business Insider, May 2, 2017
We must reject the view that, to be a victor, you must have a victim; to stand tall, you must stand on someone.
HARRIET WOODS
C-SPAN, July 14, 1991
Stand by your principles, stand by your guns, and victory, complete and permanent, is sure at the last.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
speech in Chicago, March 1, 1859
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, France, April 23, 1910
No battle is ever won ... victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.
WILLIAM FAULKNER
The Sound and the Fury
Victory is sweetest when you've known defeat.
MALCOLM S. FORBES
Wisdom Through the Ages
Not in the clamour of the crowded street,
Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng,
But in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.
HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW
"The Poets"
Fate and victory shift ... now this way, now that way -- like a line of unarmored men under a hail of enemy arrows.
DAN SIMMONS
Ilium
Victory shifts, you know, now one man, now another.
HOMER
The Iliad
The fight isn't over until you win.
ROBIN HOBB
Royal Assassin
Yes, victory is sweet, but it doesn't necessarily make life any easier the next season or even the next day.
PHIL JACKSON
Sacred Hoops
To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
SUN TZU
The Art of War
A victory ... always gives a country the feeling that it can succeed, not only in sport but also in economy and culture, on the international stage, in politics and diplomacy.
FRANCOIS HOLLANDE
Indian Express, July 10, 2016
Upon the fields of friendly strife
Are sown the seeds
That, upon other fields, on other days
Will bear the fruits of victory.
